Government in Exile?

Peter Godwin, an author, has a couple of interesting ideas for the Zimbabwe tragedy.
  • The world should not recognize the results of the election.
  • Mugabe should not be recognized as president.
Yes, they're symbolic and will very likely not have any effect within the country. But Godwin has a more practical idea based on the economic influence South Africa has on Zimbabwe - start a Tibet-like movement with regard to the FIFA tournament in South Africa in 2010. It is somewhat more practical but not very.

Perhaps a more practical idea is to help Tsvangirai establish a government in exile.
